Sweat, athletic bodies by over 2000 rigorously juried selection of football players around the globe will be presented. Your senses will be excited by the expression of these contemporary gladiators. They will be showing everything: from museum-quality master plays of Ronaldinho to the Zidanne bravest defense of her sister honor and exquisite plays and statements by the most sought – after football artists of our own time. In large plasma screens you could enjoy of a curated selection of replays.
